...passed since the 1965 season ended, the way the boys were cracking helmets last week. It was championship all over again at San Diego, where the hometown Chargers played the Buffalo Bills-the same team that demolished them 23-0 for the A.F.L. title last year. The Chargers were bent on revenge, and they got it, as Flanker Lance Alworth caught a pass for one touchdown, set up another with a crushing block, and San Diego...

Thomson, in Merrill Lynch fashion, is an eager train-and evening-out bridge player; though he has a bent-armed swing, he plays golf in the low 80s, has certificates to prove that he has thrice scored holes in one. His two children, both grown and married, remain close to the marketing place. Son Donald, 34, an Amherst graduate, is a registered representative in a Merrill Lynch New York...
